Equipment

  • Large sheet pan or roasting pan Big enough to fit your pork chops and potatoes without overcrowding. If you don’t have one, a large cast iron skillet or a ceramic baking dish works too.
  • Mixing bowls One for seasoning the potatoes and another for making the bbq glaze.
  • Tongs or spatula For flipping and serving.
  • Basting brush (optional) Helpful for spreading the BBQ sauce evenly on the chops.
  • Aluminum foil Optional, but covering the chops briefly after baking helps them stay juicy.

Ingredients
  

For the Pork Chops

  • 4 bone-in pork chops 1 to 1.5 inches thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder optional for a bit of heat
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce use your favorite store-bought or homemade variety
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce boosts umami in the bbq sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar for tang
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar optional, for a sweeter glaze

For the Roasted Potatoes

  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes halved or quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese optional for extra flavor

Instructions
 

Preheat and Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Season the Pork Chops

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel—this helps them brown better. Rub them with olive oil, then season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and chili powder if using.

Mix the BBQ Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Set aside half of this mixture for basting during baking and reserve the rest for serving.

Toss the Potatoes

  1. In a separate bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary or thyme. Spread them out on one side of the baking sheet.

Arrange and Bake

  1. Place the seasoned pork chops on the other half of the baking sheet. Brush a generous layer of the BBQ glaze on top of the chops.
  2. Pop the whole tray in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Baste and Finish

  1. Remove the tray from the oven. Brush more BBQ glaze onto the pork chops and flip them carefully. Spoon more glaze on the other side.
  2. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F and the potatoes are fork-tender and golden.
  3. For extra char on the pork chops, you can switch the oven to broil for the final 2–3 minutes. This gives you that slightly caramelized finish similar to broiled pork chops oven style.

Rest and Serve

  1. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, making each bite more tender.
  2. Serve with the roasted potatoes and a side of extra BBQ glaze for dipping, if you like.
